Sog̒u 18
1 Tanīs dienās ķēniņa nebija iekš Israēla, un tanīs dienās Daniešu cilts meklēja īpašu vietu priekš sevis, kur varētu dzīvot, jo viņai nekāda īpaša vieta starp Israēla ciltīm nebija piešķirta līdz tai dienai.
In those days there was no king in Israel; and in those days the tribe of the Danites sought them an inheritance to dwell in; for unto that day there had nothing been allotted unto them among the tribes of Israel for an inheritance.
2 Tad Dana bērni no saviem radiem sūtīja kādus piecus vīrus, no savējiem, kas bija stipri, no Careās un Estaoles, zemi izlūkot un pārmeklēt, un tie uz viņiem sacīja: ejat, pārmeklējiet zemi. Un tie nāca pie Efraīma kalniem līdz Mihas namam un palika turpat par nakti.
And the children of Dan sent of their family five men from their whole number, men of valour, from Zorah, and from Eshtaol, to spy out the land, and to search it; and they said unto them: 'Go, search the land'; and they came to the hill-country of Ephraim, unto the house of Micah, and lodged there.
3 Un tur pie Mihas nama būdami viņi pazina tā jaunekļa, tā Levita, balsi un nogriezās uz turieni un sacīja uz to: kas tevi še atvedis? Un ko tu še dari? Un kas tev šeitan ir?
When they were by the house of Micah, they knew the voice of the young man the Levite; and they turned aside thither, and said unto him: 'Who brought thee hither? and what doest thou in this place? and what hast thou here?'
4 Un tas uz viņiem sacīja: tā un tā man Miha darījis un mani saderējis, un es viņam esmu par priesteri.
And he said unto them: 'Thus and thus hath Micah dealt with me, and he hath hired me, and I am become his priest.'
5 Tad tie uz viņu sacīja: vaicā jel Dievam, ka mēs atzīstam, vai mūsu ceļš labi izdosies, ko ejam?
And they said unto him: 'Ask counsel, we pray thee, of God, that we may know whether our way which we are going shall be prosperous.'
6 Un tas priesteris uz tiem sacīja: ejat ar mieru! Jūsu ceļš, ko ejat, ir taisns priekš Tā Kunga.
And the priest said unto them: 'Go in peace; before the LORD is your way wherein ye go.'
7 Tad tie pieci vīri nogāja un nāca uz Laīsu un ieraudzīja tos ļaudis tai vidū droši dzīvojam, pēc Sidoniešu ieraduma mierīgi un droši, un tai zemē nebija neviena valdītāja, kas kādas lietas dēļ kādu apbēdinātu; un tie bija arī tālu no Sidoniešiem un tiem nebija nekādas darīšanas ar nekādu cilvēku.
Then the five men departed, and came to Laish, and saw the people that were therein, how they dwelt in security, after the manner of the Zidonians, quiet and secure; for there was none in the land, possessing authority, that might put them to shame in any thing, and they were far from the Zidonians, and had no dealings with any man.
8 Un tie nāca pie saviem brāļiem uz Careū un Estaoli, un viņu brāļi uz tiem sacīja: ko jūs sakāt?
And they came unto their brethren to Zorah and Eshtaol; and their brethren said unto them: 'What say ye?'
9 Tad tie sacīja: celsimies un iesim pret tiem, jo mēs to zemi esam izlūkojuši, un redzi, tā ir ļoti laba; un jūs turaties klusu? Neesiet kūtri iet, ka nākat to zemi uzņemt.
And they said: 'Arise, and let us go up against them; for we have seen the land, and, behold, it is very good; and are ye still? be not slothful to go and to enter in to possess the land.
10 Kad jūs nākat, tad jūs nākat pie drošiem ļaudīm, un tai zemei ir plašas robežas; jo Dievs to devis jūsu rokās, vietu, kur nekāda trūkuma nav nekādā lietā, kas ir virs zemes.
When ye go, ye shall come unto a people secure, and the land is large; for God hath given it into your hand; a place where there is no want; it hath every thing that is in the earth.'
11 Tad no turienes, no Daniešu radiem, no Careās un Estaoles, aizgāja sešsimt apbruņoti karavīri.
And there set forth from thence of the family of the Danites, out of Zorah and out of Eshtaol, six hundred men girt with weapons of war.
12 Un tie cēlās un apmetas KiriatJearimā iekš Jūda; tādēļ to vietu nosauc par Dana lēģeri līdz šai dienai; redzi tas ir aiz KiriatJearimas.
And they went up, and encamped in Kiriath-jearim, in Judah; wherefore that place was called Mahaneh-dan unto this day; behold, it is behind Kiriath-jearim.
13 Un no turienes tie gāja uz Efraīma kalniem un nāca pie Mihas nama.
And they passed thence unto the hill-country of Ephraim, and came unto the house of Micah.
14 Tad tie pieci vīri, kas bija gājuši Laisas zemi izlūkot, sacīja uz saviem brāļiem: vai jūs zināt, ka šinī namā ir efods un elka dievi un izgriezts tēls un lieta bilde? Tad nu jūs paši varat zināt, kas jums jādara.
Then answered the five men that went to spy out the country of Laish, and said unto their brethren: 'Do ye know that there is in these houses an ephod, and teraphim, and a graven image, and a molten image? now therefore consider what ye have to do.'
15 Un tie nogriezās uz turieni un nāca pie tā jaunekļa, tā Levita, namu, pie Mihas nama, un to apsveicināja mīlīgi.
And they turned aside thither, and came to the house of the young man the Levite, even unto the house of Micah, and asked him of his welfare.
16 Bet tie sešsimt vīri, kas bija no Dana bērniem, ar kara rīkiem apbruņoti, stāvēja pie vārtiem.
And the six hundred men girt with their weapons of war, who were of the children of Dan, stood by the entrance of the gate.
17 Bet tie pieci vīri, kas bija gājuši zemi izlūkot, nāca uz turieni un paņēma to izgriezto tēlu un to efodu un tos elka dievus un to lieto bildi, un tas priesteris stāvēja pie vārtiem ar tiem sešsimt apbruņotiem vīriem.
And the five men that went to spy out the land went up, and came in thither, and took the graven image, and the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image; and the priest stood by the entrance of the gate with the six hundred men girt with weapons of war.
18 Kad nu šie Mihas namā nāca un paņēma to izgriezto tēlu un to efodu un tos elka dievus un to lieto bildi, tad tas priesteris uz tiem sacīja:
And when these went into Micah's house, and fetched the graven image of the ephod, and the teraphim, and the molten image, the priest said unto them: 'What do ye?'
19 Ko jūs darāt? Un tie uz viņu sacīja: klusu, turi muti, un ej mums līdz un esi mums par tēvu un par priesteri. Vai tas tev labāki, viena vienīga vīra namā būt par priesteri nekā pie vienas cilts un viena rada iekš Israēla?
And they said unto him: 'Hold thy peace, lay thy hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, and be to us a father and a priest; is it better for thee to be priest unto the house of one man, or to be priest unto a tribe and a family in Israel?'
20 Tad tas tam priesterim bija pa prātam, un viņš ņēma to efodu un tos elka dievus un to izgriezto tēlu un gāja līdz to ļaužu vidū.
And the priest's heart was glad, and he took the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven image, and went in the midst of the people.
21 Un viņi griezās atpakaļ un nogāja un laida papriekš bērniņus un ganāmo pulku un savas dārgās lietas.
So they turned and departed, and put the little ones and the cattle and the goods before them.
22 Kad tie nu tālu no Mihas nama bija nākuši, tad tie vīri tapa sasaukti, kas bija tais namos pie Mihas nama, un tie panāca Dana bērnus un uzsauca tiem Dana bērniem.
When they were a good way from the house of Micah, the men that were in the houses near to Micah's house were gathered together, and overtook the children of Dan.
23 Bet šie atgriezās un sacīja uz Miha: kas tev ir, ka tu savus ļaudis esi sasaucis?
And they cried unto the children of Dan. And they turned their faces, and said unto Micah: 'What aileth thee, that thou comest with such a company?'
24 Tad viņš sacīja: jūs manus dievus, ko es esmu taisījis, esat atņēmuši līdz ar to priesteri un esat aizgājuši; kas tad nu man vēl ir? Un jūs sakāt uz mani: kas tev kait?
And he said: 'Ye have taken away my god which I made, and the priest, and are gone away, and what have I more? and how then say ye unto me: What aileth thee?'
25 Bet Dana bērni uz viņu sacīja: lai tava balss pie mums netop dzirdēta, ka ļauni vīri pār tēvi nenāk un tu nepazaudē savu dzīvību līdz ar sava nama dzīvību.
And the children of Dan said unto him: 'Let not thy voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows fall upon you, and thou lose thy life, with the lives of thy household.'
26 Tā Dana bērni aizgāja pa savu ceļu. Un kad Miha redzēja, ka tie jo stiprāki bija nekā viņš, tad viņš griezās atpakaļ uz savu namu.
And the children of Dan went their way; and when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back unto his house.
27 Bet tie to ņēma, ko Miha bija taisījis, un to priesteri, kas viņam bija bijis, un gāja uz Laīsu pie tiem ļaudīm, kas mierīgi un droši dzīvoja, un tos apkāva ar zobena asmeni, un to pilsētu sadedzināja ar uguni.
And they took that which Micah had made, and the priest whom he had, and came unto Laish, unto a people quiet and secure, and smote them with the edge of the sword; and they burnt the city with fire.
28 Un nebija neviena, kas tos būtu izglābis, jo tā bija tālu no Sidonas, un tiem nebija nekādas darīšanas ar ļaudīm, un tā pilsēta stāvēja tai ielejā, kas ir pie BetRehobas. Un tie uztaisīja to pilsētu no jauna un dzīvoja tur.
And there was no deliverer, because it was far from Zidon, and they had no dealings with any man; and it was in the valley that lieth by Beth-rehob. And they built the city, and dwelt therein.
29 Un tie nosauca tās pilsētas vārdu Dan, pēc sava tēva Dana vārda, kas Israēlim bija dzimis, jebšu tās pilsētas vārds papriekš bija Laīsa.
And they called the name of the city Dan, after the name of Dan their father, who was born unto Israel; howbeit the name of the city was Laish at the first.
30 Un Dana bērni tur uzcēla to izgriezto tēlu priekš sevis, un Jonatāns, Manasus dēla, Geršona, dēls un viņa dēli bija priesteri Daniešu ciltī līdz tai dienai, kad tās zemes ļaudis tapa aizvesti.
And the children of Dan set up for themselves the graven image; and Jonathan, the son of Gershom, the son of Manasseh, he and his sons were priests to the tribe of the Danites until the day of the captivity of the land.
31 Tā tie priekš sevis uzcēla Mihas izgriezto tēlu, ko tas bija taisījis, kamēr Dieva nams bija Šīlo.
So they set them up Micah's graven image which he made, all the time that the house of God was in Shiloh.
